"it was our first visit, at the door of a very friendly young man, checked our reservation then offered drinks at the bar or sitting at our table, as the bar was so inviting we sat and had a drink to go the world...by the restaurant's decor is really nice and tastefully done, there is also a small sitting area outside. each worker is happy, helpful, polite and attentive, a really good team. we met friends who hadn't seen us for some time, so we're busy chatting when the waiter came to our order, but he wasn't worried and told us to take our time, a waitress came to take the beverage order while we decided. I chose arancini (favourite starter ever) it came beautifully presented with Pomodoro sauce and was delicious, followed by this with tortellini ricotta in a tomaten and mascara sauce, great bowlful, it was amazing. there was a singer on, always an additional bonus, but since we had not met in a long time, it was a little loud (not a complaining) for us, we asked if we could move outside, not a problem, we helped our table to a four and menus for drinks and desserts bought us. I had a western beacon biscoff cookie with ice, so good (extra miles on my current walk)"

"The food arrived promptly and was delicious. The wrap was packed with flavorful chicken, fresh vegetables, and a tasty sauce. The wings were perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food from "Wraps & Wings" and will definitely be ordering from them again in the future."

"We visited the Comedor on a whim to try have something a bit different. We had eaten at some steakhouses in London and as an Australian are quite spoilt for good cuts of beef which had become apparent throughout the week. This was the first place I was completely overwhelmed with the quality of meat and the spectacular cooking. The service was a bit slow to start but as there were only 2 waitresses available we gave them some leniency on that. The staff were friendly and respect the meat when one of our companions ordered a particular cut of meat to be done well done' she told him that will become very tough and suggested a cheaper cut which would benefit more from his preferred cooking...read more"

"absolutely nothing wrong with eating delicious. but we went to the mother's lunch. was almost the first at the place. first the service was ok, then the starters were left almost an hour after completion on the table. the children's main courses came 20mins or so into the waiting period. not only had to clear the plates, but also find out where our nets had to be. my wife was so excited that she had canceled her, so there was a certain unavoidability that she showed up. to be fair, the shnormous mgr removed the meal of my wife from the bill, which was estimated and she took the meal free to house instead of throwing it. it's a shame because eating was really delicious, it's just the service element that needs to be seriously repaired, and it shouldn't be that hard. the fingers crossed."

"Very nice welcome and waiting staff. Big portions of food, our mains chicken shish and pasta. Monday was very busy due to 'eat out to help out' so a bit of noise was expected. Seemed to be a youngish crowd. Played some good latest tunes. I had booked it a week beforehand. The staff didn't know about the free glass of Prosecco deal via OpenTable but eventually one of the waiters said it would be okay to give us a free glass. We were told we would have to leave the table after an hour and a half because the table was needed for a private party which was disappointing and checking back on OpenTable it states hours for four people. So there is a miscommunication somewhere. Overall good experience and would visit again with friends"

"from both of us I found eating at elenas to be totally acceptable, but the price-performance ratio is a bit ho-hum. the photos of the stars that decorate the walls gives him a certain charm, but the bright lighting makes nothing for the shaded color job that lurking behind the mugs, and I felt, giving the place a caffe feeling. Some candles and somewhat lower lighting could go the inner further. I think the attention to small details makes customers appreciate. for example, why not use stainless steel eis eimer instead of plastic, which I enjoyed the chicken liver parfait, served with roasted brioche and chutney. so good. I had a fleshy piece of tea for the main, well presented and cooked...read more"

"that was great. service was a bit poor, one of the older waiters, or perhaps the manager, didn't seem very polite and allowed us to order starters and main dishes separately. he probably knew that after ordering a lot of appetizers would be full and would not later order main dishes, so he asked us to order together with appetizers because “the kitchen was busy” and could not order. when they go to a restaurant, they should be free to order what they prefer, at any time especially during the lunchtime, the kitchen was not close or something."

"Love the convenience of this restaurant. A little luxury in an otherwise busy and stressful place. However 15% service plus £1.50 cover charge per head all adds up to too much. The staff were very friendly during our visit in August 2022 and got my 5 stars. Several menu choices were unavailable and it seemed like although the restaurant was only half full, we were all crammed into one half. The staff did their best to make up for this."

"Got there for a friends birthday didn’t do anything special like other restaurants normally do. Only gave us an over an hour for a table as needed table for someone else. Waiter Kept on watching us eat food made us feel like we had to hurry up kept on standing behind me to see if I was finished with my plate made us very uncomfortable. Food was lovely but for a Friday when music was suppose to on at 7 it didn’t happen until around 8:30 very disappointing"

"We were a large family group meeting up for a post Christmas celebratory lunch. There were only 2 other diners apart from us, but the food still took ages to arrive and was overcooked and barely warm when it did. Grilled tiger prawns were tough and dry and the vegetarian option provided a scant 2 slices of halloumi hardly a main course portion. From such a long established restaurant with a solid reputation for quality the reason we chose it it was all hugely disappointing. I can only assume the kitchen was not fully staffed in the period between Christmas and New Year."

"Decor in the restaurant isnt great looking but more importantly its clean. They are definitely missing a trick with the lack of atmosphere and the place could do with a makeover. All that said the food is absolutely magnificent and at the end of the day that's what your here for and I have to say it twice because its important especially after putting the decoration down THE FOOD IS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT. The staff are nice and friendly and give you the space you like but are around if you need anything without hounding you. Price is reasonable and did I mention the food is amazing? It seems to be fairly quiet anytime I go and maybe a little investment in the decor might bring in more people and make the place more profitable? But whatever you do keep your chef's they are real assets. I've no problem giving this place the full 5 stars and anyone reading this you should try this place out the food is great, as long as your not planning to propose to the significant other that night."

"TL/DR: Bland, ‘old’ food. Interesting history. Sits on gorgeous castle grounds. NOT worth the price. Service team beholden to old ideas and traditions inconsistent with the needs of the modern dining experience. Let me admit a few things: 1) I’m an American and due to our history, I have developed a more sensitive radar to help recognize when my white privilege and colonialism are being put on a pedestal. 2) I don’t know a lot about the history there, why certain traditions have been preserved at George V, and I don’t pretend to know how the staff feel about working there. I bought a book on Ireland’s history to better understand the complicated relationship between Ireland and the crown. 3) I get it, it’s a restaurant review, not a history book. But when you name a place after a former king, we naturally get here. The quick and dirty becuase I have minimal characters left: the grounds are gorgeous the restaurant was built for George V and man does it feel and taste like it is deliberately maintaining old preparation techniques and ideas yikes the food was not good. It just wasn’t. It’s not the service team’s fault, but someone in charge who is choosing to hold on to a boring, outdated menu catering to old, rich white people (small changes could have made the meal interesting and like it belongs in 2022) the only diversity present was among the service team. It’s cringey as a diner. multiple people served us in a disconnected way: the person who sat us took our order (which confused another person), someone else spoke to us about wine and couldn’t answer other questions, someone else served it, and none of those were our main server I left this experience feeling disappointed and confused. How much of my experience is white guilt vs real restaurant problems? Should a restaurant rooted in royal history consider their representation of colonialism in 2022 a real restaurant problem? I absolutely think so."

"We went for an early dinner with friends before heading to the theatre. The restaurant opened at 5pm and we had made a reservation for that time. Our arrival seemed to catch the staff off guard, but they were still friendly and accommodating. Our drinks were served promptly. The starters of whitebait and asparagus were a bit heavy, with the whitebait being breaded instead of battered, which was a letdown. However, the main course of seafood linguine with white wine sauce, recommended by our waitress, was fantastic. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the seafood, a mix of mussels, squid, clams and prawns, was cooked just right and lightly seasoned. The steamed spinach on the side was also cooked to perfection and not overdone."

"Simply superb. Small restaurant but with super personal service and welcome. The menu is good.. but is more of a guide than a definition.. Chef Nick asks what fish you like, suggests a recipe and just does it, superbly. More like chefs table than a restaurant, and a pleasure from start to finish. A memorable evening"

"We were in town for a conference and bagged on the plenaryreception to have a real dinner. This was close and got great reviews. First of all, the positive reviews already on this site are correct: it is a splendid little restaurant, with a creative menu and a very fine wine list. Because we had food that was a bit challenging to pick wines for my wife had the smoked duck and schnitzel, while I had the rabbit terrine and a schnitzel with saffroned risotto; we were at loggerheads about whether to get a red or a white, with me thinking that a sturdy north Italian white would be the better bet, we consulted the staff who served up a very fine Dolcetto, which worked very well.We arrived at early for Italy, and by the time our mains arrived, all the tables were filled. The noise level was OK and we could maintain a nice conversation without needing to raise our voices.The staff was very kind and considerate, but they appeared to be a bit shortstaffed for the Friday night crowd. The wine recommendation came minutes after our request for a consult. And my Borolobased dessert wine with bitters, yum! didn't arrive with dessert. In fact, I asked after it and it still did not arrive. Only when our staff was tallying up our bill was the mistake realized and they rushed the glass out to me. I'm glad they did. I think part of the problem is that a back waiter took the dessert order and it appears to have slid sideways. My Italian is virtually nonexistant although his English was a bit better. One can't really complain when dining on someone else's turf. The only real fault is that the staff was a bit frantic although very goodnatured.Excellent dinner"
